"Trees were perfectly cut down , read on. I trust people on their word and do not press people, maybe trust too much. Leigh said, he'd give me job details in writing. That did not happen till the job was over. Before starting I told him the back yard has one moist area and to avoid this if possible, that's why I hired him with the 85" spider to not go in this area and take care of some 75' trees, which the spider seem to do. well. But other equipment ended up turning this area into a mud pit. He said he'd level it out. Fine but , Turns out the guys with the rakes, just don't like mud. Now it is not an area level enough to drive my lawn tractor over yet even if dry. I will somehow need to correct this myself. Had this been better leveled this would have been 4.5 - 5 stars overall. And my steep driveway had patches and were torn up by their truck and I need to spend hours to also correct this. FYI- oil delivery truck was there earlier in the week, no damage & never damaged the driveway. He did discount the end price $100. FYI-Get a general before job description in writing. Leigh is a nice guy that communicates well, but get it in writing. "The devil lives in the details""

"They called the same day i requested a service quote and came that afternoon even though it was raining like crazy. Joe gave us a quote and two days later the crew showed up and did an amazing job of removing a tree from our creek and cutting some branches from other trees. They removed a the debris and left the area clean. I highly recommend this company to any one."

"Andrew from Second Nature lawn care came out to do some touch up seeding this morning. He was wonderful. He has been here to do the fall seeding before and did a terrific job. He did the same for me today. He was thorough, informative and such a delight to have at my house. I could not have been more pleased. Second Nature is really fortunate to have him in their company!! I appreciate him so much and am grateful to Second Nature for for responding to my request so quickly !"

Customers say: Quality work

"Cody and his team were fantastic and friendly. They not only cut down the original request of a dead tree but also help me with a very large tree I knew was not in good shape. I asked them to please cut everything into 14 inches so it would fit our wood burning stove. They not only cut both trees but actually measure each large branch/trunk to make sure the length was correct. Cody did everything the way I wanted it. They also stacked everything up so we could easily split all the wood. Cody would have split it if we wanted it done. The best part was the very fair cost he gave me to do both trees. I highly recommend this company. You will be very happy with their work."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

It takes anywhere from three to seven years for a stump to decompose on its own. This timeframe can depend on the kind of tree and your climate. The lower to the ground the stump is, the faster it rots. If you kill a tree stump with salt, boiling water, herbicide, light deprivation, or burning, the tree stump decomposes faster. 

If tree branches cross well into your property line, in many cases, these branches become part of your property, and you can trim them up until your neighbor’s property line. However, this issue will vary based on local ordinances, so you should do your research before making any decisions. Better yet, speak with your neighbor about how to handle any tree issues. 

If you don’t mind the branches, you can leave them be, but if they’re becoming a hazard, it’s definitely worth having a conversation.

Surface-level tree roots might only pose a small threat, such as being a tripping hazard or obstacle when you mow your lawn. But if mature tree roots start growing in the direction of your home’s foundation or plumbing system, it could be a real problem. Cutting small tree roots out before they grow too large can keep your home safe without removing the whole tree.

The best pro to hire for spraying trees is a tree maintenance specialist. These pros are well-versed in selecting the right spray treatment and applying it properly to ensure there’s no collateral damage to the tree or surrounding landscape. Many tree maintenance services employ certified arborists, but for these routine visits, the extra investment usually isn’t necessary.

Unless there’s some sort of rule in your community’s homeowners’ association that requires you to remove a stump, there’s no law that says you have to take it out. If you’re not wedded to the idea of removing it, there are plenty of ways to get creative with this tree remnant. Using the stump as the medium for a wood carving or turning it into a planter are just two examples of ways to repurpose a tree stump.
